We are committed to providing an engaging and positive learning environment that motivates students to grow and thrive. Mission: Our mission is to provide a positive educational experience that teaches students the necessary skills to transition their lives towards success within their community. As our mission statement indicates, our main focus is helping students transition. * Transition from academic struggles to academic success * Transition from behavioral difficulties towards positive and appropriate behavior * Transition from school to gainful employment * Transition a failure identity towards an identity of success * Transition from high school to college At DHA, we believe ALL STUDENTS HAVE A DESIRE TO SUCCEED. For some students, success is right on the horizon, and for others, success may take a bit more time. Our staff is dedicated to promoting achievement in each student, even the hard to reach student.

Our programming is tailored to meet the unique academic, emotional, social and developmental needs of our students.
